"I've had weekly chiropractic care most of my life, but my adjustments rarely held for more than a few days. For the first time ever, my adjustments actually held..."— Emily M., Chronic Pain Patient with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
There's a Problem with Traditional Chiropractic Care
Traditional chiropractic focuses on symptom relief, creating a cycle of dependency without addressing the underlying dysfunction causing your pain. It's like putting a band-aid on a leaky pipe... they might stop the drip temporarily, but they never fix what's actually broken.
Never Actually Get Better
Patients find themselves trapped in an endless cycle, booking the same appointment over and over because traditional care only treats the pain without addressing what's actually causing it.
Average Visit Duration
Patients are rushed through appointments like a fast-food drive-thru, with barely enough time for the doctor to understand your unique situation, let alone create a comprehensive treatment plan.
Get Only Adjustments
Patients are stuck receiving the same passive treatment over and over, missing the active rehabilitation and corrective measures that research shows are essential for lasting improvement.
The Frustrating Pattern Most Patients Experience
Without addressing the underlying root cause, you remain stuck in an endless cycle that never truly resolves your condition
Pain Strikes
Symptoms appear, disrupting your daily life and normal activities completely
Quick Fix Attempt
Brief adjustment provides temporary relief without addressing the root cause
Pain Returns
Often worse than before, requiring frequent visits and creating dependency on care
Sound familiar? You're not alone.
This cycle affects thousands of patients who deserve better. These patients found lasting relief after years of temporary fixes.
"Before Bonnie, I had a very bad view of chiropractors from a previous experience. I viewed them as quacks making it up as they went along. My wife referred me to Bonnie after being treated while pregnant. She identified and fixed my issue by the second visit! She's serious about helping to fix you for the long haul, not just temporary relief. I owe her for not just healing me but changing my entire outlook on chiropractors. I can't say enough good things about her."
"I have always been too scared to go to a chiropractor! Heard crazy stories about once you go, you always have to go and how a bad one could really screw you up. But getting older brings new pains that sometime become unbearable. I am so glad I was referred to Bonnie! She reassured me the goal was to fix me up- not have me coming in forever. She even convinced me to try adjusting my neck (the thing I feared the most!) and it was awesome. I would recommend her to anyone!"
Why Temporary Relief Becomes Permanent Dependency
When the underlying issue goes unaddressed, simple problems become complex, chronic conditions that are exponentially harder and more expensive to treat
Exponential Complexity
Simple dysfunction evolves into multi-system problems requiring comprehensive intervention
Increased Treatment Costs
More frequent visits, longer treatment periods, and additional therapies become necessary
Time Lost
Constant appointments and pain episodes steal precious time from your life
Quality of Life
Chronic pain limits your activities, relationships, and overall happiness
If you're tired of this endless cycle, you're not alone. Thousands of patients have found a way out.
